The first of many hard days

A few weeks ago (June 18th to be exact) my neighbor, Amy, was having some pretty horrible headaches.  Within a few days she noticed her left arm was bothering her and her handwriting was changing.  Her and her husband, Paul, consulted with the neighbor (who is an OB physician) and he suggested she make an appointment to see a doctor.
This appointment led to an MRI, which lead to a phone call follow up requesting further MRIs be done because there is a presence of some lesions that they wanted to check out.
Today she received the call.  They received the diagnoses and the hardest part of their journey started.

Such devasting news for such an amazing family.  They have no doubt had their share of challenges and this just doesn't seem fair.  How could this happen to someone so young and otherwise healthy? How could this happen to our friend?

This news has filled our neighborhood with sadness and disbelief.  No doubt this will be a tough road for the next few months but everyone is optimistic knowing that we are all here and will come together to do whatever we can to help them all through this.
